U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Michael J. Borgschulte, the commanding general of 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, speaks to Marines with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron (HMLA) 169, Marine Aircraft Group 39, 3rd MAW, after his final flight in command, at Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton, California, June 12, 2024. Marking the occasion as exceptionally meaningful, Borgschulte’s first flight assigned to an operational squadron in 1994 was also at HMLA-169. He now has more than 3,800 career flight hours, including 700 combat hours in Iraq and Afghanistan, and during his time in command of the Marine Corps’ largest aircraft wing, he flew every aircraft platform within the MAW. Borgschulte is slated to relinquish command to Maj. Gen. James B. Wellons on July 2, 2024. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Emeline Swyers)

The Army is rapidly advancing capabilities in the Short-Range Reconnaissance (SRR) program by deploying cutting-edge Small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (SUAS) to Trans-formation in Contact (TiC) Brigades. In April, the PEO Aviation, Project Office UAS, responded to an urgent request to deploy Tranche 2 SUAS to the 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 101st Airborne Division (Fort Campbell, Kentucky) in support of their rotation at the Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) at Fort Johnson, Louisiana. Both the Skydio X10D system and Teal Drones' Black Widow system will support Army TiC Brigades in developing and refining tactics, techniques, and procedures for employing networked reconnaissance and surveillance systems against emerging battlefield threats.

On May 16th 2025, Montana’s 1-163rd Combined Arms Battalion hosted over a dozen British Army Soldiers of the Royal Wessex Yeomanry (RWxY) at the Limestone Hills Training Facility in a joint training event to help their armored crewmembers transition to the Challenger 3 tank which is currently in production. Training involved British armored crewmembers serving in their assigned roles on the M1A2 Abrams alongside our Montana National Guard Soldiers. This kind of joint training serves to enhance British Army readiness, build stronger allied partnerships, and project lethality on the battlefield. Lance Corporal Megan Fuller of the RWxY said, “I found it quite good. I think from our end getting everything cleared and organized to actually get over here and be able to fire on the platform has been a massive effort through our chain of command, but personally just being here on the ground, I’ve really enjoyed it. The RWxY is Britain’s Armored Reserve which features the Challenger 2 tank, now being upgraded to the Challenger 3 Main Battle Tank estimated to be fully operational by 2030. The Challenger 3 tank upgrade aligns with a continuing effort to standardize the interoperability, interchangeability, and lethality of NATO standard 120mm rounds for smoothbore main guns. According to Lieutenant Lyons of the RWxY, “There is really nothing like firing 120 millimeters of pure freedom.” Full video story to follow, so stay tuned.
